That's fair enough but then why put in a giant 'SHOW PASSWORD' button. Why not just remove that button.

I expect a hacker using my computer with admin rights to get everything. I don't expect my GF to get my passwords simply by pressing the 'show passwords' button.

And it's not very realistic for me to tell my GF she can't use my computer or to log out every time I give it to her. She's going to be kind of insulted if I do that. I just expect you guys to understand that in this day an age people DO actually share their computer with people without expecting them to have a giant 'SHOW PASSWORD' button in their favorite app.

Problem is a certain amount of people don't expect that, and it's important that this group doesn't grow.
